Meg & Thomas are ready to welcome Michael into the world!



Megan and Thomas now have a due date.
Meg will be induced on May 12th at Children's Hospital of New York Presbyterian at the Columbia University Medical Center.

As you may know, Michael has a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). But, he's lucky because it was diagnosed early, his parents have found the best medical care providers, and he's had a very comfortable 9 months. To see more about HLHS, visit the American Heart Association's website or the NY Presbyterian website.

We'll be updating this regularly to keep you posted on Michael's progress.

All of your thoughts and prayers are appreciated and the whole family can "feel the love."
